Virtual Reality Program for Mild Cognitive Impairment
This study is exploring a virtual reality (VR) program called Cognitive Activity Social Technology (CAST) for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The CAST program uses an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset to offer fun activities that help with thinking, social interaction, and general engagement. Researchers want to see how easy it is for older adults to use this VR program. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, can read English, and have good enough vision. The study is looking at how many days and times people use the program, and how many features they explore over two months. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 312 participants. It is designed to evaluate the usability and acceptance of a virtual reality program.
- What's involved
- Participants will use the VR program from baseline through 2 months. The study will measure how often and how many features of the program are used.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for two months after starting the VR program.

What this trial measures
- Project 1, Phase 2: Perceived System Feasibility of the CAST Program as measured by the number of days usedBaseline through 2 months
The CAST system or tablet feasibility will be assessed by evaluating participants' perception of the features of the system. Real time measures of the CAST system or tablet use will be evaluated, by the number of days used starting from baseline through two months. Measure is to be developed based on phase 1 of the study.
- Project 1, Phase 2: Perceived System Feasibility of the CAST Program as measured by the number of times used per dayBaseline through 2 months
The CAST system or tablet feasibility will be assessed by evaluating participants' perception of the features of the system. Real time measures of the CAST system or tablet use will be evaluated, using the sum of times the system was used per day or the average starting from baseline through two months. Measure is to be developed based on phase 1 of the study.
- Project 1, Phase 2: Perceived System Feasibility of the CAST Program as measured by the number of features used per dayBaseline through 2 months
The CAST system or tablet feasibility will be assessed by evaluating participants' perception of the features of the system. Real time measures of the CAST system or tablet use will be evaluated, by number of features used per day, using the sum of numbers of features used per day or the average starting from baseline through two months. Measure is to be developed based on phase 1 of the study.
- Project 1, Phase 2: Mean Difference of Perceived Ease of Use of the CAST Program Assessed using the Perceived Ease of Use QuestionnairePost-Randomization at Month 1 and Month 2
Utilizing a 12-item scale (Perceived Ease of Use Questionnaire) which includes two subscales (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) with Likert response scales ranging from. 1 (Strongly disagree) - 10 (Strongly agree). The responses to the items are summed for each of the subscales. To assess ease of use, the investigators will evaluate responses to the perceived ease of use subscale. Higher sores indicate perceived ease of use of the CAST program.
- Project 1, Phase 2: Mean Difference of Perceived System Usefulness of the CAST Program, assessed using the Perceived Usefulness QuestionnairePost-Randomization at Month 1 and Month 2
Utilizing a 12-item scale (Perceived Usefulness Questionnaire) which includes two subscales (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) with Likert response scales ranging from. 1 (Strongly disagree) - 10 (Strongly agree). Higher sores indicate perceived system usefulness of the CAST program. The responses to the items are summed for each of the subscales.
- Project 1, Phase 2: Mean Difference in Score of CAST Program Intervention Workload, assessed using the NASA Tax Load Index (TLX) MeasurePost-Randomization at Month 1 and Month 2
The TLX is a measure of perceived workload that assesses six dimensions of workload: Mental, Physical, and Temporal Demands, Frustration, Effort, and Performance. Administering the TLX involves two steps. First, a participant reflects on the task they're being asked to perform and looks at each paired combination of the six dimensions to decide which is more related to their personal definition of workload as related to the task. This results in a user considering 15 paired comparisons. For example, they need to decide whether Performance or Frustration "represents the more important contributor to the workload for the specific task recently performed." The second step involves participants rating each of the six dimensions on scales from Low to High or from Good to Poor. The raw score for each of the six items is multiplied by the weight from step 1 to generate the overall workload score per task. NASA TLX -- Scores Range from 0 (low work load) - 100 (very high work load)
- Project 1, Phase 2: Mean Difference in Score of Perceived CAST Program system enjoyment Assessed using The User Experience QuestionnairePost-Randomization at Month 1 and Month 2
The User Experience Questionnaire. A 23-item scale that measures enjoyment and immersion of a virtual reality experience. Eleven items are related to enjoyment - these items will be summed to assess enjoyment, Scores range from 0-11, with 11 indicating greater enjoyment.
